I am currently designing a cart which carries AC powered appliances. Total wattage is around 3000 Watts. I am allowed to have one plug exiting the cart which will be plugged into a 15A/20A Receptacle.
Currently i have a DC battery powering up an inverter.
Inverter going through a breaker panel with switches. Each switch with rated current relative to the appliance (20A switch if the load is 15A)
Since i have 4 AC powered components and one DC powered i am powering that DC component from the breaker panel as well by using a Class 2 transformer as it is a low voltage component
The issue that i am having is with the DC battery. If i use a 12V battery and the inverter rated for 3600 Watts, i need 300A from the battery. a 400ah battery will discharge very fast therefore i want to wire it such that the battery is continuosly being charged through that 120Vac receptacle. I am having a hard time finding a charger that can continously charge a 400ah battery.
Is there a better way to wire this circuit?
Thanks
